The recent direct observation of gravitational wave event GW170817 and its GRB170817A
signal has opened up a new window to study neutron stars and heralds a new era of …

We review the properties of hybrid stars with a quark matter core and a hadronic mantle,
focusing on the role of key micro-physical properties such as the quark/hadron surface and …

We investigate the hadron-quark phase transition in cold neutron stars in light of (i) the
observed limits on the maximum-mass of heavy pulsars,(ii) constraints on the tidal properties …

Compact stars (CS) are stellar remnants of massive stars. Inside CSs the density is so high
that matter is in subatomic form composed of nucleons. With an increase of density of matter …

We investigate the surface tension σ and the curvature energy γ of quark matter drops in the
MIT bag model with vector interactions. Finite size corrections to the density of states are …

Particles with strangeness content are predicted to populate dense matter, modifying the
equation of state of matter inside neutron stars as well as their structure and evolution. In this …

The first direct detection of gravitational waves has opened a new window to study the
Universe and would probably start a new era: the gravitational wave Astronomy …

Hadron-quark phase transition in neutron star cores is achieved in the present work with the
help of the Maxwell construction. For this purpose, we employ six different and well-known …

We explore the possibility of a structured hadron-quark mixed phase forming in the interior of
neutron stars. The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which explicitly incorporates the …

We study the hadron-quark mixed phase, which may occur in the interior of neutron stars.
The relativistic mean-field model is employed to describe the hadronic phase, while the …
